look back: April 2011

It looks like April 2012 is kinda a flop when it comes to regular posting. Not the case last year though! This time last year, I had just come home from my trip to England and Belgium, I was gearing up for Bike to Work day, and I had just gotten my BMW. This year I am gearing up for Bike to Work day again, getting ready to go down to Charlottesville for Foxfields, and paying $1800 for repairs on my BMW. It seems that the more things change, the more they stay the same! :)

I know it seems like a bummer to spend that much to repair a car, but it is just the cost of ownership. I was prepared for it... kind of. I mean, I knew that repairs would be expensive, but it hadn't sunk in just how expensive they would be. Good thing I have been monitoring my budget like a mad woman and really working to save money!
